Is there anyway in Oolite to jump into witchspace and fight the Thorgoids? I know there was something on the C64 version that would allow this.

The way is… up, up and away!

IIRC on the original BBC ELITE it was CTRL-X that took you into witchspace with a load Thargoids to kill.

Thanks for the tip guys. Witchspace is quite profitable.
I will check out the fiction later.

Hold it down, start looping at about 2 seconds. The on-board Hyperspace Compensators in modern starcraft can negate the minor ups and downs of piloting, but if the movement is rapid and extreme (loop-de-loop), that's when you'll end up dropping out of the Witchspace tunnel into the vast, Thargoid-haunted emptiness....0235 wrote:happened to me, but i wasn't pulling up, only tapped A just as i was engaged, probarbly my rubbish PC playing up again

But really, which is scarier: A trumble salesman or a fleet of thargoids?

You think we don't have trumble salesmen too?

Now, a fleet of Thargoid Scientolegists, THAT would be downright chilling!
